Title: Another Aberdeenshire hello!!
Post by: Scotsdumpy on July 02, 2012, 02:10:48 pm

Hi,

been looking here for some time now - great forum and website - Congratulations!!!

We've been living here for 7 years (almost to the day)
We keep a small flock of pedigree coloured Shetlands, a small herd of goats and two billys, a dexterxjersey house cow and two of her followers, weaners for the freezer, chickens and a couple of ducks!! not forgetting four dogs....

We live betwixt Strichen and Fraserburgh in the middle of a small forest.

We were Bracken on NEEPS and Scotsdumpy on Tim Tynes forum!

Hello and welcome to TAS from drizzly Carnoustie  :wave:

Hope we'll see you at the Scottish Smallholder and Grower Festival!

Hmm, do you do lessons in hand milking, by any chance?
